U+5A23 "娣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
娣
U+5A23 "娣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that traditionally means "younger sister" or specifically a "younger sister-in-law," referring to a wife's younger sister or a younger girl who is taken as a secondary wife in a polygamous household. It is composed of the radical "女" (woman, female) on the left, indicating its association with femininity or family relationships, and the phonetic component "弟" on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation "di" in Mandarin. This character appears in classical literature and historical texts, often carrying connotations of hierarchy within familial or marriage structures, and it remains in use in modern Chinese in some formal or regional contexts.
